Child Killer's Final Moments: What Happened Inside the Cell?

A convicted UK child killer was stabbed more than 30 times by fellow inmates in a savage prison-cell attack that lasted five minutes, according to reports. 

Kyle Bevan – serving a life sentence for the 2020 murder of his two-year-old stepdaughter – was found dead at HMP Wakefield in November after three inmates allegedly followed him into his cell and unleashed the violent attack, a Leeds Crown Court heard Wednesday as the murder trial kicked off. 

Prosecutors said Mark Fellows, 45, David Taylor, 64, and Lee Newell, 57, were captured on surveillance video leaving Bevan’s cell about four and a half minutes later looking “satisfied,” the BBC reported. 

“He was stabbed and injured over 30 times, with at least one and probably more than one weapon,” prosecutor Jason Pitter told jurors of the fatal Nov. 4 assault.

“Four minutes and 39 seconds – that is how long it took. They left as if nothing had happened.”

The trio allegedly gutted the 33-year-old prisoner with a “sharp weapon” and then moved him to his bed, where he bled out and was discovered by prison guards the following morning. 

Pitter said Bevan – who “kept to himself” inside the prison – was found with stab wounds to his chest and abdomen, the outlet reported.

“They left him for dead, one after the other,” he said, according to the DailyMail.

“Not before, though, putting him to bed. Leaving him as if asleep. And there it was that he, on his bed, bled out. Bled to death, and his body then discovered until the roll call in the prison the following morning.

“The purpose was clear – to carry out a joint attack on Kyle Bevan to kill him.”

Prison guards later found a folded piece of metal with Bevan’s blood on it stashed behind a TV, with other weapons discovered in Taylor’s cell in a bottle of chili sauce, the outlets reported. 

Fellows and Newell were also serving life sentences for murder when they launched the attack.
